F#m

C#m

G#m

I was in the classroom after school

AWorking on the chalkboard once again

F#mYou were in your uniform standing by the door

C#mWhen I saw you, saw you Gthere

CYou were wondering if I'd walk you home

AEven though I lived on the opposite side

BI said, "Sure, I don't need to be home soon C#manyway, anyGway."

A Textbook lovBe

C#mTextbook lBovFe

AHold my little Bhand, C#mbaby

I started to wear my dad's cologne

AStarted combing my hair to the side

BAnything that I could do

Just to keep your atC#mtention on Gme

CBut I was just a phantom passing by

When Ayou where on the track home with your friends

BI was nobody at all

I just needed an C#manswer, Gbaby

Helplessness Blues

Key: EMedium

Aadd9

Asus4

EI was raised up believing

I was Asomehow unique

Like a Bsnowflake distinct among snowflakes

UniAque in each way you can Esee

EAnd now after some thinking

I'd Asay I'd rather be

A Bfunctioning cog in some great machinery

SAerving something beyond Eme

EBut I don't, I don't know what that will Abe

I'll get Eback to you someday soonA you will Esee

EWhat's my name, what's my station

Oh just Atell me what I should do

I don't Bneed to be kind to the armies of night

That would Ado such injustice to Eyou

EOr bow down and be grateful

And say "ASure take all that you see"

To the Bmen who move only in dimly-lit halls

And detAermine my future for Eme

EAnd I don't, I don't know who to belieAve

I'll get Eback to you someday soAon you will Esee

EIf I know only one thing

It's that Aevery thing that I see

Of the Bworld outside is so inconceivable

AOften I barely can Espeak

Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy

And I Acan't keep it to myself

What gBood is it to sing helplessness blues?

Why should AI wait for anyone Eelse?

EAnd I know, I know you will keep me on the Ashelf

I'll come Eback to you someday sAoon myseElf

GI woke up one CmorGning

All my fingers CrotGten

I woke up a Cdying Gman Dwithout a Gchance

I came to your CwinGdow

Threw a stone and CwaiGted

Through the Ddawn G

No light in the CeveGning

Planted like a Cseed in Gsand and Ddrowned in

He kept you Cbeneath Ghim

He kept you on Clock and Gkey

He Dpaid the Gwage you Csent to Gme

And Dwaste the Gday so CidlGy

CAlong all the Gway home

Wide-eyed CwalGker Do not CwanGder Do not CwanGder
